Lindsey and Blake at the Powel Crosley Estate

The day before Easter Lindsey and Blake were married at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  Last year dad photographed one of his most favorite engagement sessions ever with Lindsey and Blake.  They had a friend dress up in a bunny costume and pose in some of their images.  It was very quirky and weird and so much fun!  Though no one wore a bunny costume to the wedding, Lindsey and Blake did have some bunny figurines as decoration and bunny ears for guests to wear.  It was a beautiful spring wedding theme on Easter weekend.

Darla Stafford did a wonderful job with Lindsey that morning for hair and makeup.  She was a beautiful bride!  Her gown was so pretty with a netting over the bodice.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen all wore spring green which, along with pink, were the wedding colors.  The couple had Cam Road Films along with sound man Brook Bowman as film makers at the wedding to make their wedding movie.  Dad was so jealous of the Super 8 footage they were shooting!  The flowers were done by Jayne Giroux of Designs by Yours Truly, Inc and at the reception Nellie’s Deli was the caterer with Publix for the cake.  The DJ was Rob Sword from Sword Sounds and he made sure the party was going all night.

Lindsey and Blake had a First Sight so that they were able to do some of their pictures before the ceremony.  It was a sweet moment when they first saw each other as bride and groom.  Their ceremony was also filled with emotion for the couple and their guests, but after the tears during the vows there were only smiles and laughter the rest of the night!  Newlyweds Melissa and Brian were at the wedding too.  Dad photographed their wedding just last month and it was great seeing them again.

Dad said that Lindsey and Blake were a fun couple and had a terrific wedding.  Their family and friends were all wonderful as well.  We wish the couple all the best in their lives together and hope we see them again in the future for newborn pictures of a big bunny holding their baby:).

Turning One Whole Hand

On Thursday dad met a sweet little girl for her 5 year portrait session.  She was adorable and did great in front of the camera!  Dad had fun photographing her ballet moves and her silly faces.  With the session just a few days before Easter, they also did a few pictures of her as a little Easter bunny.  She looked so cute!  Here are a few of the pictures:

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter, or as dad likes too say all the time, “Hop”py Easter! (Yes, he can be that dorky).

Little brother hasn’t heard the saying about not putting all of your eggs in one basket.

Third Trimester

Now that mom is in her third trimester, she has had several emails telling her to share an updated picture of her belly.  Though we still have months left to go, lately mom has had many comments from strangers who say she looks as if she is due any day.  That means we have a healthy growing baby sister in there!  But it still makes mom a bit self-conscious when she has to explain that she still has a while.  Here are a couple of the quick pictures dad took of her the other day:

Mom Blogging:

I look at my boys and think there is no way they can get any cuter.  But then my oldest has his birthday session and I see cute can’t even begin to describe him!  Here are a few of his pictures:
